Rockin'!
Although it's supposed to be for three years and up, I bought it for my daughter's first birthday. I figured that we could have fun with it anyway. I couldn't have been more right. From the moment she saw it, she only wanted to play on the horse. Initially it started with me putting her on the horse and helping her rock, however within a few months she was climbing up and down and rocking on her own. I am not sure if her climbing skills were accelerated due to the horse, but she sure is more daring than many of her similarly aged friends. ... Read more

Erm..
The problem with Breyer is that they are now starting to focus a LOT on the display factor instead of the durability for children. I think this item should be mostly for older kids and collectors. It is great to play with, but is outragously expensive...and you can't even do anything with it without the car, which is like another [$$$]!

This horse trailer is very delicate.
I purchased this horse trailer for my 8 year old daughter thinking that a brand name such as breyer would be worth the $... I paid. My daughter began playing with her horses and new trailer and within 10 minutes the latch for the rear door broke. I glued the latch and gave it back to her. The next thing that broke was the ring that the little chain hooks into, also within 10 minutes. My daughter is not a rough child and rarely breaks a toy, so I am very disappointed in this product.

Nice Trailer
This is a very realistic horse trailer and is very detailed. It is large enough for full size model horses, and pretty well made. The only part not made very well is the butt chain---it is a bit flimsy and I found it to be a little difficult to latch and unlatch. The only other drawback to this trailer is that currently there is no matching truck made to pull the trailer! Hopefully, they will come out with one, and I hope Breyer collectors will email the company to request one be made (I've sent in my request already!) Over all, it's a very nice trailer! ...

No wonder this 7-inch-high, 8-inch-long plastic pony looks so healthy and handsome: she has it all. Her barn, which snaps together easily, is 12 inches high and has a blue tiled roof with dormer windows. Among its features are horseshoe wall hooks, a flagstone floor, a hay hoist at one end complete with a bale of hay, and even a hose attached to a working water pump. And there’s an impressive list of accessories for pony care: bucket, sponge, rake and shovel, first-aid kit, and more. There’s even a barrel of apples. Maybe parents deserve to be warned about the little catalog tucked inside: it contains a whole universe of horses, trailers, saddles, and equestrian paraphernalia, with cattle, dogs, and wildlife too. Chances are this pony won’t lack company for long. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Horses need a stable for shelter.The 3.5-inch-long, 2-inch-tall horses included in this set are privileged to have such a wonderful red and white plastic stable. The barn snaps together in minutes andincludes a tack and storage room and three stalls with swinging doors.Accessories such as a water trough,four corral fences, a jump, and three race barrels ensure fun-filled days for these lucky horses.The barn is10.5 inches long, 6.5 inches wide, and 7 inches high.What a wonderful toy and display piece for horselovers! --Tami Horiuchi ...

L:ittle Red Stable
This a totally fun toy, it is so much fun to play with abd pretend that you have your own stable. It is very durable although the horses legs are easliy bent, It is a very educational toy becasue it teaches you what you need to have happy and healthy horses.

FUN FUN FUN
My mom got this for me and I have been playing with it ever since! I collect stablemates and I think whoever collects them should get this barn!

Cute, but only suitable for display
My daughter (aged 5 when she received this item, now turning 7) loves the Breyer horses and the Little Red Stable. Unfortunately Breyer is to look at, not play with. The horses do not stand well and several have suffered broken legs. The Stable is made of a very thin, almost brittle, plastic. My daughter is not rough with her toys, and though she enjoys playing with the set, the broken horses and sharp plastic are a put-off. I wouldn't recommend this for enthusiastic play or for portable entertainment.

RATE HORSE STABLE SET
I THOUGHT THAT THE HORSE STABLE WAS VERY CUTE AND MY SON LOVES HORSES. HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GREAT FOR ALL HIS HORSES TOO STAY IN. HE COULD PUT SOME IN THERE TO TRAVEL WITH WHERE EVER HE GOES. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT TOY FOR ANY CHILD WHO LOVES HORSES.

Stablemates Little Red Barn
I apsolutely loved my barn when I was a little girl. It was hard to put together and that meant to me that it wasn't going to fall apart. I loved the fact that it comes with two Stablemates! I hope that someone will have a lot of fun with beautiful collectors item/toy! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Perhaps a better variation on the ol' rocking horse in theorythan in practice. This all-plastic Silver to your Lone Ranger rides 26inches high (at the saddle) on its wide metal and plastic frame. Thefour spring-mounts offer a soft, pleasant ride, and the frame givesgreat stability--if you can put it together securely. We found theassembly fiddly and frustrating, however, and our sample came withincorrectly sized bolts. And the handlebar, which fits through a holein the nape of Silver's neck, rattles back and forth, making the wholetoy seem cheaply made. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Lots of Fun!
This spring horse has been great fun for my son who is just under 2 years. It is a bit large for him to climb on and off, but he has figured it out. I would recommend a smaller horse for his age. Assembly took some time but was not nearly as difficult as described... The overall quality is very good, and the springs don't make noise like the one I had as a child. I would highly recommend this toy for any child.

Fun and easy horsey!!!
Hello, I am a 21 year old single mother of a little boy who will be turning 2 on April 25 and this horse is not hard to assemble at all!!! I dont know why so many people complain about how hard it is, but you just have to stick to it till the end. I did break out in a sweat, but hey this is good exercise!, and finished in half an hour. My son will be so thrilled to get this for his b-day since he always rides it when he sees it on display in toy stores and frankly, I dont know how much more my back could of handled being his "imaginary" horse but not anymore! LoL!

Great for a little buckaroo, but beware of assembly
We have an active 2-year-old so for the birthday boy we purchased a Dakota spring horse at our local Toys R Us after researching these thru Amazon. The reviews I read were right, the assembly IS a nightmare. My husband is a furniture builder by trade and usually handy, but it took him over an hour, with ranting, to put this horse together. The assembly instructions make assumptions and are not particularly clear. It seems less thought was put into the direction book than should have been. HOWEVER, now that the horse is put together, it is a big hit with our son and the look on his face when he rides it makes even Daddy smile. Seems to be sturdy enough even for our rambunctious boy, a great climber, that didn't have any problem figuring out how to get on this toy. If you can possibly purchase this horse locally already assembled, it would be worth it. I think this will be something that will be played with a lot.

Childhood memories!
Do not let the other reviews scare you away from this great toy. The printed directions are a bit tricky to follow, but this is not hard to put together!! We were skeptical after reading reviews, but so happy that we decided to give it a go. Everything was in the box and ready to go. Our kids love it (perhaps not as much as nostalgic mom and dad do though!!!)

Let me dispell the myth
Let me start by saying my 22 month old son gives this one 5's across the board. I put the thing together in 22 minutes with my son in the middle the operation. I also must have gotten a good one with all the right parts. OK, let me help you a little, The bars that go thru the horse...stick them in the hole and waller out the hole a little by swirling the post around in a circular motion and pushing it in. Once you get it thru the first hole, it will slide to the next one rather easy. Now flip the horse over and proceed to bonk the post thru the other hole by hitting it on the floor. thats the easy ones. now the post that go into the floor stand are harder to bonk in but arent that hard. Just make sure you line up the screw hole on the post with the hole on the floor stand before you bonk it in or you will be like me putting in the first post, only to notice, I didnt line the holes up and then I had to spend 3 minutes of the setup bonking the floorstand to line up the holes. from there it is done. Too easy. Yea, and I know I could have wrote a book easier. But now you know. ... Read more

Beautiful Toy!
This is a absolutely BEAUTIFUL stuffed animal!! I am so glad I purchased one for my 5 month old daughter. It exceeds my exspectations beyond words. The color and craftmanship is quality. This toy is HUGE and even though my 5 month old can't use it yet, I know she will appreciate it as she gets older. I think every little girl should have one regardless of their age. My 12 year old daughter wishes she had one! It's a MUST HAVE for girls who love horses.

What a beautiful stuffed animal!
You don't have to be a horse lover to love this item. I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter but I plan to buy a second one to keep at our house for her and other children to enjoy when they are here visiting us because I know they will love it too. It is comfortable for them to sit on or use as a floor pillow while watching cartoons or movies and is also great to sit on and pretend they are riding a real horse. I wish that this item had been available when my daughter was young, she would have loved playing with it. I am extremely satisfied with this product! ... Read more

Editorial Review

With a sturdy reinforced base for strength and stability, this Midnight SpringHorse is a safe way for young cowboys and cowgirls to enjoy a fun ride across theplayroom prairie. An updated version of the classic playroom ride-on, the plastic horseand its metal base measure a total of 44 inches tall from top to bottom, with a width of 24inches from side to side. Two sturdy plastic stirrups along with smooth handles on eitherside of the horse's head give young wranglers something to hold on to as they take thisproud stallion out for an easy back-and-forth ride. Smooth edges and plastic tubes overthe horse's four springs will help prevent injuries. Like all spring horses, this ride-on canbe dangerous for young children. Parental supervision is required. --Chris Burns ... Read more

worth the money
We just got this horse for my daughter age 2 and half years who is a horse fanatic. It was a pain to put together. Make sure you have two people to assemble and strong. Also the directions were a pain. The plastic tubing is a good idea to protect any part of the child's body from getting pinched by the springs. The first time my child rode on it, one of the springs popped off and that could have been our fault- in terms of putting it together. I like the wide bases at the bottom. We have two other children son- ages 6yrs and daughter-4yrs! They all enjoy Midnight. Although right now they are fighting over it and working out how they can ride on it all at the same time. They used it for many of their pretend play games and my son has written stories and plays incorporating it. The horse has changed names and sex as each child is on it. They are working on their gross motor skills and using different kinds of muscles while riding on it. It also works on their vestibular system as well. The rocking movement of the horse is very calming for children. As a child development expect, I recommend anything that encourages pretend and cooperative play. The only problem is it takes up half of my living room space.

Safety/ buy Hedstrom,not DCPlanet Disney Spring Horse
I wish I had seen this spring horse before I purchased the
Disney Princess Spring Horse at Toys R Us for my 4 year old
granddaughter. I was told by Toys R Us that the manufacturer
of the Disney horse was dc planet toys. I can't get any informa-
tion from the manufacturer or anyone. She can't ride the horse
because the frame jumps when she rocks, the thing is really unsafe and I would discourage anyone from purchasing it. I can't
get my money back on the unsafe horse, or I would purchase the
Hedstrom 44" horse. The base is very different from the Disney
horse. Be sure you know what you are getting, before you spend
(...) Toys R Us. I just wish I had seen this horse then.

Awesome -- giddyup horsey!
My twin girls (almost 3) love this horse!! We actually have an older version of it, but it is pretty much the same. Because ours is older, I can't say anything for the durability except that the one we have has lasted about 8 years. Every kid that comes to our house (usually around age 3-4) LOVES this horse!! It seems so simple, but my girls will take turns riding forever!! It does require an amount of supervision, especially with younger children. My girls also like it when I "bounce" them or "make the horsey go fast (bounce really fast)" They have lots of fun pretending, which is VERY educational! The assembly wasn't simple, but it wasn't terrible. Ours is hard to get level -- it took some twisting so it didn't rock. It is kind of big in our small playroom, but it actually wasn't as big as I expected. We plan to move it outside very soon.

cheap immitation - shop around
I shopped around the internet for this horse and bought it here because it was the cheapest, but I didn't realize until I put it together that this one (from Amazon) DOES NOT have sound. Most "Midnight" models from Hedstrom have motion activated sounds. Also the paint was sprayed on very sparingly. Not the top quality I expected from Hedstrom. Too late now...

GREAT HORSE FOR OLDER KIDS
My son was turning 2 and we wanted to get him something he would enjoy for his birthday. I looked at reviews for the much smaller horses but knew that my son would grow out of those in a few months so we settled on this one. It holds him great and he loves to ride it. I think it was worth the money and is a fun toy. ... Read more

Appaloosa Beauty!
This filly/colt is a gorgeous Appaloosa at the canter. Her eyes are beautiful and spirited and her leopard colored coat is a pleasure to look at. By far the best foal Breyer has ever made. If you are a collector of Classic sized Breyers like me, she fits in beautifully as a smaller horse. The durability of this model is great, I have just had several Breyers lose legs and I think they are all generally fragile. Well worth the money... She is so much FUN!!!!!!!

Appaloosa
This cute foal is a lepord spotted Appaloosa. He is white with black dots on him. He has a short tail that is the right size of a real foal. His mane and tail is white and black. He is in a canter position. He has black nostrils with black around it. A very pretty colt. ... Read more

BIG GUY
THIS TOY LOOKS LIKE IT'S LIGHT BUT IT IS'NT.THIS MODEL IS COOL AND THIS MODEL LOOKS JUST LIKE DARKSUNSHINE MY BLACK CLYDESDALE STALLION.I OWN 143 BREYER HORSES AND 63 OTHER ANIMALS.I'M ONLY 11 AND I OWN 789 HORSES.MY FAVIORTE IS MY OWN BIG BLACK MUSTANG STALLION NAMED SPIRIT WHOM IS JET BLACK.SPIRIT US TO BE A LEADER OF WILD MUSTANGS UNTILL I WRANGLED HIM.SPIRIT ONLY LET ME RIDE HIM.

This Breyer Horse is one of the best!
One thing about Breyer Clydesdale's is that they are one of the most durable breyers horses avalible. They can go through a lot of wear and tear and come out with maybe a rub or 2 or maybe a scratch. I highly reccomend this toy. You can do anything with breyers because they are so lifelike you can even hold shows with them!

from real life to model
Flowergirl is a beautiful example of a Clydsdale mare and the only Breyer model horse I've actually met in real life. Of course watching her and her foal eat was fun, along with feeling the ground shake under the hooves of the other horses racing toward the barn. I'm not sure they got her color exactly right, remembering her a bit less red, but that doesn't change the quality of this model. She's a beautiful animal, in the flesh and as a Breyer creation.

Magnificent Traditional Size Breyer Horse
Northumberland Flowergirl is easily my favorite from among the six Breyer horses I ordered in early January, 2000. Having all four feet on the ground, she is sturdy, stable, and not prone to being continually knocked off of her feet like horses in more active poses. My 35-pound four year old has briefly sat on her several times; I know the horse was not designed for this purpose, but appreciate the quality and craftmanship which lets it stand up to such abuse. I also get to experience the dismay my mother must have felt when I sat on early 1960's vintage Breyer Horses as a child. She is a beautiful horse with a look in her eyes which was very skillfully captured from a live horse. Looking at her reminds me of the calm and solid presence of real horse friends from long ago. ... Read more

Great set!!!!!!
This is an awsome model! Trigger is a striking palomino with a stark white mane and tail! Light pink and black shading near and on his muzzle make 'im look like the real thing! His legs are a little tender, though. I wouldn't recomend him for ruff kids. Highly recomended for older kids and collecters! Great model horse folks! Trigger is truly a "Wonder Horse!"

great for all horse lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this toy has great educational info, about roy rogers.
i have about (more) then 150 breyers.and i'd rate it 50 stars.
the only thing is it's not for playing with, it's more of a [blot]
on the shelf toy, but it's worth more than your buying it for!!! i have it, and its just as worth wild on the shelf as it is on the floor!

breyers rock!
breyers can be educational because you can learn about the different breeds, colors, genders, and, in this case, roy rogers!

My 1st Breyer
Trigger was my 1st Breyer. Boy is he handsome!!! He is a Georgious! He also comes with a great video. In "The Golden Stallion" Trigger Junior is also introduced! It's Really Good!

Trigger, a famous horse in history.............
Roy Roger's Trigger is a wonderful example of a Breyer model. The model also comes with a video showing two original episodes of Roy Roger's show. Trigger himself is amazingly detailed and has a removable saddle. The only downside is the saddle and bridle can sometimes leave black marks on the horse, but they come off. All around, this horse is a great toy and an even better collector's item. ... Read more
